Doesn't even need a flag now.

I have hauled a lot of lumber that way.

Saw guy hauling a fridge yesterday in back of pickup held only by 2 of the rubber stretch cords. I got away from him fast.

Can you make it out with the convertible on real long ramps and clear the garage door? LOL Jon

No it won't work

The median price of a home in California is nearly $550k, so that gives us a lot of wiggle room using your framework. My thing on play cars is that you need to be able to write a check for them and not have it put you in a financial bind. I buy them used, drive them for a year or two and sell them for about what I paid for them. We ate rice and beans for years to have no debt and to save a little money, and it was worth it. We each have our hobbies, and I bet I have spent less on mine than the average guy that golfs regularly.

This. They drop in price fast in the first few years. Then very slowly. And I agree if you can't pay for one you don't need it.

Are you able to walk under your lift? At times I would like one to raise a little fishing boat up so I could put another trailer under it. Jon

With a car on it yes. You need to duck under the ramps. With my truck on it I can move around under it on a mechanic's chair. But my garage has a 10' ceiling. It is not high enough to get the truck under it with a car on it. The hoist would go a lot higher with a higher ceiling.

Wish I had taken a photo, and I haven't found one online:

CA hwy 37 is a shortcut from I-80 over to US-101, 20 miles north of San Francisco. It crosses a marsh so its on a levee.

Three weeks ago driving from home to ranch we saw a huge mobile home or mobile office tipped over and halfway down the bank. It has no hitch in front beyond the structural triangle.

Oops. Looks like it ran wild and tumbled off the road.

Yesterday - three weeks later - its still there. I'm surprised the highway department or the nature preserve it fell into haven't forced a cleanup.

^^^^^
Was it windy that day? I've seen mobiles tipped over from the wind while they are in transit. That stretch of the interstate crosses a big bog, and there's nothing to cut the wind.

They will have to do multiple studies to figure out how to remove that office container without damaging any more of that wildlife and nature filled flooded area. Then those studies will be reviewed, questions raised and more research needed. Then why will call some flatbed wrecker out to winch it up, yard rake around the area and haul it off.

I will never forget my first trip to Cali 7-8 years ago was in that general area, Eastbay, north of Oakland, and I was totally taken off guard.

As I was driving East towards Antioch, I had never seen so much debris on the ground. I have traveled a lot through out the rest of the country for work, and what I saw that day was the worst I had ever seen anywhere.

Honestly, my subsequent visits were not nearly as bad, so maybe I caught it at its very worst, but there still was a lot of trash and I always thought of Cali as this pristine state......

I especially noticed abandoned mattresses , everywhere, especially on the sides of the highways and major thoroughfares.
